4 Public Question Time:

4.1 Jeffrey Wilson, Calista:

Question 1 I am here to represent the Kwinana Bowling Club because of the odours that are coming from the Water Corporation land next door to us. We are having lots of problems when the easterly winds are blowing and we cannot do any work because of the smell. People who have lived in the area for a long time know to go out for the day because of the smell. Every time the easterly breeze blows, people are complaining when they are playing bowls. The ventilation system puts out methane gas, which is a flammable, a very smelly gas. The Mayor asked Mr Wilson if this was a new thing, as she has not received any complaints that she is aware of and the sumps have been there for a while now. The Mayor added that she is happy to defer to the Chief Executive Officer to see what we may be able to do with regards to lodging a complaint, following it up and putting pressure on the Water Corporation to see what they can do. Mr Wilson advised that he has been working with the City’s Environmental Health department for three years and he was requested meetings with the Water Corporation to discuss the issue. Mr Wilson stated that Kwinana is getting a bad name because the Kwinana Bowling Club has visiting clubs that play pennants every year and the same thing happens and we have had it for three seasons. We put up with it when they do their maintenance, we understand that people have maintenance to do, but when they lift the lid, which is 40 foot under the ground, two pumps pumping day and night to keep the fluid moving, it seeps through the ground. Methane gas will seep through brick work, it will seep through the concrete and it comes out. They told me in November that they are going to put a better system in for filtering, November is the middle of our pennants season and that thing will be open for a couple of weeks. We would like for this to be done in the off season and the Water Corporation should work with us when they want to do their maintenance. The main sewerage line goes right through the town centre and opposite the Calista Primary School and KFC. The Water Corporation has been allowed to have an open pit so when they have trouble it overflows sewerage on the ground. They have notices there saying to not go near it, but we allow that in our City right in the centre, near our food, where our children are playing, I cannot understand why we allowed that to happen. Mr Wilson advised that 3-4 weeks ago, there was a spillage in Leda, it came out of the ground, they say it was tree roots that did it, it couldn’t have been, we have millions of trees up and down the avenue and they are not breaking up the pipework.

Response The Mayor referred the question to the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer explained that the City could try to make contact with the Water Corporation because it is the Water Corporation’s issue. Unfortunately, even in terms of approvals for their work, the City has no power in terms of public authorities and what they can do. The City can certainly advocate on your behalf and make contact with Local Member, Roger Cook MLA. Mr Wilson advised that the Kwinana Bowling Club have spoken to Roger Cook, within the last month.


4 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME The Mayor advised that the City will advocate to resolve the issue and the nuisance for club members and residents. The City will discuss the matter with Roger Cook MLA, the Minister, and Reece Whitby MLA. Mr Wilson stated that the Kwinana Bowling Club would like Water Corporation to discuss their maintenance schedule and the issues identified.

4.2 Jenny Hartley, Parmelia:

Question 1 Access to the Rockingham General Hospital, there is only one road, I did get in touch with Roger Cook’s office, as I am concerned that there is only one road in but apparently there is an emergency plan in place. Response The Mayor advised that the emergency plan is via the Golf Course and explained that this is something that the City has been advocating for. Question 2 I want to look into transport, the lack there of, to and from Kwinana after a certain time at night. This apparently is something you will look at? Response The Mayor confirmed and advised that it is included in the consultation of the Local Planning Strategy. Question 3 I brought up about the Voices of Kwinana, I did have a look at it, for the average person there is so much writing and the pictures have gone. Ms Hartley stated that she was looking at sites that gave the history of Kwinana, and the Voices of Kwinana was one of those. Ms Harley advised the question had previously been taken on notice to answer, which the City has done and she looked in the agenda today and looked up the blog. Ms Hartley agreed most things were there but the picture on the Council page on the blog is all writing. Ms Hartley wanted to know what happened to all of the pictures? As many people like to look at the pictures not just read.

Response The Mayor took the question on notice.

4.3 Ian Long, Orelia: Question 1 That block of land out near where the service station is on Johnston Road, Kwinana Freeway and Thomas Road, is that going to be used for industrial?


4 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME Response The Mayor advised that it is zoned mixed business. Question 2 I was just wondering if you could actually make it a caravan park? Or build a hotel there? Response The Mayor stated that you would have to get someone to put in an application for this to be considered. The Mayor explained that the City has put a lot of work over the years on that specific site to get the right planning mix for what the City believes is coming to the area. The Mayor added that she did not believe that at this stage a hotel was in the mix. Question 3 So you could not build a caravan park there? I noticed there is one on Dixon Road and because you have got the train station and the Freeway people could come up the highway with their caravans and pull in there. Response The Mayor advised that she did not believe it is zoned for caravan parks but she would happily find out.

16.2 Charitable Rates Exemption – Access Housing Australia Ltd and Stellar Living

DECLARATION OF INTEREST: Deputy Mayor Peter Feasey declared an impartiality interest due to his supervisor being the Minister for Housing and the item referring to properties owned by the Department of Housing. Deputy Mayor Peter Feasey exited the Council Chambers at 7:19pm. SUMMARY: An application for a charitable rates exemption for a number of properties, as contained within Confidential Attachment A, has been received by the City and assessed under Council Policy - Charitable Rate Exemptions. OFFICER RECOMMENDATION: That Council,

1. Pursuant to section 6.26(2)(g) of the Local Government Act 1995 grant exemptions to Access Housing Australia Ltd and Stellar Living for assessments as contained within Confidential Attachment A.

2. Authorise the Mayor and Chief Executive Officer to lobby the Minister for Housing detailing the financial impact the exempt rates applications for the Department of Housing properties is putting on the City of Kwinana.

DISCUSSION: Under section 6.26(2)(g) of the Local Government Act 1995, an organisation may apply for a Charitable Rate Exemption for land used exclusively for charitable purposes. In 2012/2013 Council introduced a Charitable Rate Exemption Policy, as contained within Attachment B, to be used as guidelines for Council when considering the approval of such exemptions. To be eligible, the charitable organisation’s activities and purposes must:

• provide relief to the poor, the distressed, or the underprivileged. • provide advancement of religion open to all members of the public and not

subject to invitation. • aid in the fight against community deterioration and juvenile delinquency. • not involve activities of a commercial venture. • be a not for profit or charitable organisation.

The City has received applications from both Access Housing Australia Ltd (as at Confidential Attachment C) and Stellar Living (as at Confidential Attachment D). Access Housing Australia Ltd has applied for rates exemptions for a number of properties that they both own and lease from the Department of Housing (and are responsible for the payment of rates). Access Housing Australia Ltd is a not-for-profit organisation with a focus in providing housing for:

• the disabled;


• aged care; 16.2 CHARITABLE RATES EXEMPTION – ACCESS HOUSING AUSTRALIA LTD AND STELLAR LIVING

• people suffering from mental health issues; • people suffering from domestic violence; • the homeless; • youth housing; and • people with substance addiction.

Stellar Living has applied for an exemption for a property that they manage under a lease from Department of Housing. Stellar Living is a not-for-profit charitable organisation that provides affordable housing for people wishing to rent. Their vision is “to increase the provision of sustainable affordable housing options for West Australians in need”. Both Access Housing Australia Ltd and Stellar Living have applied to Council to request an exemption under section 6.26(2)(g) of the Local Government Act 1995 which states that land is not rateable if it is used exclusively for charitable purposes. Access Housing Australia Ltd and Stellar Living are both eligible under the Charitable Rates Exemption Policy to receive an exemption from payment of rates only. Confidential Attachment A lists all of the assessments for which a rate exemption has been sought. The total value of the exemptions is $21,571.32 for the 2018/2019 financial year, as the exemption is applied from the date of approval. The full year rates income for the 2018/2019 financial year for these properties is $148,557.22. The reduction in rates income will need to be considered as part of the 2019/2020 budget process. LEGAL/POLICY IMPLICATIONS: For the purpose of Elected Members considering a financial or impartiality interest only, the proponents are Access Housing Australia Ltd and Stellar Living. Local Government Act 1995 section 6.26 states: 6.26. Rateable land (1) Except as provided in this section all land within a district is rateable land. (2) The following land is not rateable land —

(a) land which is the property of the Crown and — (i) is being used or held for a public purpose; or (ii) is unoccupied, except —

(I) where any person is, under paragraph (e) of the definition of owner in section 1.4, the owner of the land other than by reason of that person being the holder of a prospecting licence held under the Mining Act 1978 in respect of land the area of which does not exceed 10 ha or a miscellaneous licence held under that Act; or

(II) where and to the extent and manner in which a person mentioned in paragraph (f) of the definition of owner in section 1.4 occupies or makes use of the land; and

(b) land in the district of a local government while it is owned by the local government and is used for the purposes of that local government other than for purposes of a trading undertaking (as that term is defined in and for the purpose of section 3.59) of the local government; and


16.2 CHARITABLE RATES EXEMPTION – ACCESS HOUSING AUSTRALIA LTD AND STELLAR LIVING

(c) land in a district while it is owned by a regional local government and is used for the purposes of that regional local government other than for the purposes of a trading undertaking (as that term is defined in and for the purpose of section 3.59) of the regional local government; and

(d) land used or held exclusively by a religious body as a place of public worship or in relation to that worship, a place of residence of a minister of religion, a convent, nunnery or monastery, or occupied exclusively by a religious brotherhood or sisterhood; and

(e) land used exclusively by a religious body as a school for the religious instruction of children; and

(f) land used exclusively as a non-government school within the meaning of the School Education Act 1999; and

(g) land used exclusively for charitable purposes; and (h) land vested in trustees for agricultural or horticultural show purposes; and (i) land owned by Co-operative Bulk Handling Limited or leased from the Crown

or a statutory authority (within the meaning of that term in the Financial Management Act 2006) by that co-operative and used solely for the storage of grain where that co-operative has agreed in writing to make a contribution to the local government; and

(j) land which is exempt from rates under any other written law; and (k) land which is declared by the Minister to be exempt from rates.

(3) If Co-operative Bulk Handling Limited and the relevant local government cannot reach an agreement under subsection (2)(i) either that co-operative or the local government may refer the matter to the Minister for determination of the terms of the agreement and the decision of the Minister is final.

(4) The Minister may from time to time, under subsection (2)(k), declare that any land or part of any land is exempt from rates and by subsequent declaration cancel or vary the declaration.

(5) Notice of any declaration made under subsection (4) is to be published in the Gazette.

(6) Land does not cease to be used exclusively for a purpose mentioned in subsection (2) merely because it is used occasionally for another purpose which is of a charitable, benevolent, religious or public nature.

FINANCIAL/BUDGET IMPLICATIONS: The total cost of granting the rates exemptions as listed in Confidential Attachment A is $21,571.32 for the 2018/2019 financial year and this amount is proposed to be funded from the Interim Rates budget. The City estimates the annual loss of rate revenue that the 13 properties owned by the Department of Housing that are currently exempt through being leased to organisations claiming a charitable rate exemption is $19,600.37. The City estimates that from these two applications (for the 73 assessments), it will result in an additional annual loss of rate revenue of $148,557. The total estimated loss of rates revenue, including the applications outlined in this report is $168,158 (loss of 0.4% of rates income).



The Department of Housing has 906 assessments remaining that they pay rates to the City for. Of the 906 assessments, there are 338 assessments that are residential properties. If the Department of Housing entered into an agreement with a charitable organisation to manage these residential properties and they applied for a rate exemption, the estimated annual loss of rate revenue is $583,251. There is a risk that further applications could be received in the future, that could reduce the annual rate revenue by up to $583,251 (loss of 1.53% of rates income).

ASSET MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS: No asset management implications have been identified as part of this report or recommendation. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: No environmental implications have been identified as part of this report or recommendation.

STRATEGIC/SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS: This proposal will support the achievement of the following outcome and objective detailed in the Corporate Business Plan.

Plan Outcome Objective Corporate Business Plan Business Performance 5.4 Ensure the financial

sustainability of the City of Kwinana into the future

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: There are no community engagement implications as a result of this report.

Attachment B

Council Policy Charitable Rate Exemptions

D12/63019[v3]

1. Title

Charitable Rate Exemptions 2. Purpose

This policy defines how an applicant is to apply for a charitable rate exemption and the requirement for their status to be reviewed every two years.

3. Scope

This policy is applicable to local organisations and ratepayers within the City of Kwinana who are eligible for a charitable rate exemption.

4. Definitions

Charity has the meaning given to it by the Charities Act 2013 (Commonwealth); Charitable purpose has the meaning given to it by the Charities Act 2013 (Commonwealth); and Disqualifying purpose means – (a) The purpose of engaging in, or promoting, activities that are unlawful or contrary to public policy; or (b) The purpose of promoting or opposing a political party or a candidate for political office. Note: Activities are not contrary to public policy merely because they are contrary to government policy.

5. Policy Statement

Council is committed to adhering to the Local Government Act 1995 and providing guidance to applicants who apply for an exemption of local government land rates charges for charitable purposes. This policy relates to the charitable rates exemption to charitable organisations based within the City that provide assistance to the City’s community. 5.1 Land Use

The land use for which the charitable organization is applying for an exemption under section 6.26(2)9g) of the Local Government Act 1995 must be for the exclusive use for charitable purposes as defined in the Charities Act 2013 and these include: (a) the purpose of advancing health; (b) the purpose of advancing education; (c) the purpose of advancing social or public welfare; (d) the purpose of advancing religion; (e) the purpose of advancing culture; (f) the purpose of promoting reconciliation, mutual respect and tolerance

between groups of individuals that are in Australia; (g) the purpose of promoting or protecting human rights; (h) the purpose of advancing the security or safety of Australia or the

Australian public; (i) the purpose of preventing or relieving the suffering of animals; (j) the purpose of advancing the natural environment; or (k) any other purpose beneficial to the general public that may reasonably

be regarded as analogous to, or within the spirit of, any of the purposes mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (j); and

Must not be a disqualifying purpose under the meaning given by the Charities Act 2013 (Commonwealth).

5.2 Land Used Exclusively for Charitable Purposes

Property must be used exclusively by the charitable organisation for charitable purposes defined by the Charitable Uses Act 1601 as generally for the following purposes: (a) the relief of poverty; (b) the advancement of education; (c) the advancement of religion; and (d) other purposes beneficial to the community.

5.3 Application for Rate Exemption

To be considered by the City for approval, each application for a charitable rate exemption under section 6.26(2)(g) of the Local Government Act 1995 must be made in writing by completing an Application for Rate Exemption form.

5.4 Review of Policy

All exemptions will be reviewed every two years and confirmation from the charitable organisation that the above purposes still apply will be required to continue receiving the exemption.

6. Financial/Budget Implications

Land rates will not be charged on successful rates exemption applicants under this policy and will therefore decrease rates revenue accordingly.

7. Asset Management Implications

There are no specific asset management implications associated with this policy. 8. Environmental Implications

There are no specific environmental implications associated with this policy. 9. Strategic/Social Implications

Plan Objective Strategy Corporate Business Plan 2016 – 2021

6.1 To ensure the financial sustainability of the City of Kwinana into the future.

6.1.4 Monitor the City’s rating system to ensure it is responsive to the cost of living and provides flexibility and fairness for all.

10. Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Implications

There are no specific OSH implications associated with this Policy. 11. Risk Assessment

A risk assessment conducted as part of the Policy review has indicated that the risk to the City by not applying a charitable rate exemption to a property is low.

The City is one of 18 Councils to achieve this recognition. The most recent award for the 2017/18 financial year was presented at a recognition breakfast on 3 May 2019. Initiatives implemented by the City in the 2017/18 financial year to retain this endorsement include; • Reviewed and adopted a new Sustainable Water Management Plan (2018-2023); • Upgraded irrigation equipment to allow for the systems to be transferred to the

18.3 Councillor Matthew Rowse Councillor Matthew Rowse reported that he had been honoured to attend the Calista Primary School ANZAC Day Service.

18.4 Councillor Dennis Wood Councillor Dennis Wood reported that he had attended the ANZAC Day Services at Calista Primary School, Bertram Primary School, Wellard Primary School and at the Kwinana Junior Knights Football Club.

19 Response to Previous Questions Questions taken on notice at the Ordinary Council Meeting held on 10 April 2019.

19.1 David Crowe, Calista

Question 1 I would like a fact check on what was in the Courier today about the Waste to Energy Plant, it says facts on incinerator output, these are facts taken from the proponents own documents, I am not sure where a Waste to Energy Plant is a proven solution given this is the first of its kind in Australia after being knocked back in New South Wales. The process itself identifies that the air pollution of approximately 15,000 tonnes per annum would be discharged over the Kwinana residential area, 2.3 kilometres away, again reminding people that it is designed for a maximum of thirty years and equates to just under a million tonnes of chemicals. Response The Mayor took the question on notice. Further response from the City of Kwinana As per the article in the Weekend Courier on 1 March, ‘Council ticks off on waste plant’, the City of Kwinana objected to the proposal for a Waste To Energy Facility on Office Road, Rockingham raising concerns about the location of the facility and the effects on air quality for Calista, Leda and Medina residents. The City’s submission was comprehensive and covered the following aspects -

• Location with respect to the south-west and south-south-west winds that would carry air emissions to Kwinana residential suburbs;

• air quality emissions including the need for real time data; • odour emissions especially around system down times; • the need for an odour complaints register to manage complaints effectively; • noise management to ensure compliance with the regulations and

neighbourhood amenity; • traffic management including the need to upgrade Office Road; and • management of fugitive waste from the site through an effective waste

management plan.

Further details on the City of Kwinana’s report and submission can be found in report 15.2 using this link: https://www.kwinana.wa.gov.au/our-council/agendas-and-minutes/AgendasAndMinutesDocs/2018/Minutes%20-%20Ordinary%20Council%20Meeting%20-%2012%20December%202018.pdf

19 RESPONSE TO PREVIOUS QUESTIONS Question 4 Can I have a fact check, in the paper it said that Parmelia was the most polluted suburb in Western Australia? Response The Mayor took the question on notice. Further response from the City of Kwinana • Industry at Kwinana is controlled by the Department of Water and Environmental

Regulation (DWER) through strict licence conditions and reporting. • There have been several studies for air pollution carried out by the DWER in

Calista, Medina, Orelia and Parmelia. The pollution levels found in these suburbs were well below the air pollution indicators that could affect people’s health. Therefore, the City is of the opinion that the ABC report, which was based on air pollution levels by Postcode, incorrectly associated the levels measured in the Kwinana Industrial Area, which has the same postcode 6167 as Parmelia, to Parmelia.

Map showing extent of 6167 postcode:

19.2 Jenny Hartley, Parmelia

Question 1 The Voices of Kwinana that was listed on the City of Kwinana website, it was under the Library section, is not there anymore?

Response The Mayor took the question on notice.


19 RESPONSE TO PREVIOUS QUESTIONS Further response from the City of Kwinana The Voices of Kwinana blog was merged onto the City of Kwinana website on 25 February 2019. The new location is https://www.kwinana.wa.gov.au/our-facilities/kwinana-public-library/KwinanaHistoryBlog/Pages/default.aspx. The old blog website had a redirect in place for one month prior to the domain expiry of 26 March 2019. This change was communicated to the public via the City’s Library newsletter and within the blog. Library staff are available to assist community members to access specific information as required. Question 2 There are so many publications from the City, is there anything available to make it easier for the visually impaired to read them? Response The Mayor took the question on notice.

Further response from the City of Kwinana The City of Kwinana is happy to provide any of its publications or public facing documents in an alternative format, on request, to anyone who would like one.
